Distance education using e-learning is a solution to the pandemic
condition. CeLOE LMS is an e-learning platform to support distance or online
education for all Telkom University students. The aim of this study is to
analyze factors that may influence user acceptance behavior and attitudes using
the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). To measure user acceptance towards CeLOE
LMS during online learning at Telkom University, a quantitative method was used
in this study. A total of 175 college students participated in this study. This
study uses five variables with 24 indicators that influence user acceptance
attitudes and behavior, namely Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use
(PEOU), Attitude Toward Use (ATU), Behavioral Intention to Use (BI), and Actual
System Use (AU) which were all analyzed using PLS-SEM tools. The results showed
that all six hypotheses (H1-H6) were positive and significant. Hypothesis 3
stating that the PEOU variable influences the ATU variable gained the highest
hypothesis test score of 0.671 while Hypothesis 5 stating that the PU variable
influences the ATU variable gained the lowest hypothesis test score of 0.279.

The new instance of the pneumonia virus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as
COVID-19, was initially reported in China on December 31, 2019, and has since
spread to over 222 countries, including Indonesia (WHO,
2020). Indonesia is also attempting to constrain the spread of the virus
by limiting people's productive activities through restrictions such as working
from home, studying from home, and praying at home. Minister of Education and
Culture, Nadiem Makarim, prevents COVID-19 from spreading by delaying mass gathering
activities and substituting them with video conferencing, digital documents,
and other online activities (Kemendikbud, 2020).
Related to this, a survey conducted on the implementation of Pembelajaran Jarak
Jauh (PJJ) / distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia showed
that 70% of students and 300.000 lecturers
rated the PJJ implementation as good or very good (DIKTI, 2021). This data demonstrates that the
limitations imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic have a fairly significant effect
on the implementation of PJJ via various delivery modes (DIKTI,
2021).
The use of e-learning is the best method for overcoming educational
issues, particularly in this pandemic situation. The e-learning and digital
technologies implementation are also able to be a chance for the educational
sector to improve the quality of education and contributes to the economy’s
continued development (Koroleva and Kuratova, 2020). Undoubtedly,
distance learning is a solution for the education sector in Indonesia to
minimize the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. In e-learning, Indonesia
swiftly built a distance-learning approach (Nugroho,
2020). E-learning is described as teaching and learning based on media
usage and relies on or partially demonstrates the educational paradigm being
employed. Electronic devices are able to help with training, and communicating,
as well as being the media for people to interact with and accept new methods
related to comprehension and learning construction (Salloum
et al., 2019).
Telkom University is one of the universities that supports this strategy
by using an e-learning platform, namely CeLOE LMS that provides learning
activities to achieve the learning outcomes. Telkom University had a total of
22.279
college students in 2020 or 0.2 percent of all college students in Indonesia.
The total number of Indonesian college students enrolled in 2020 was 8.483.213 (PDDikti, 2020). However, CeLOE LMS has never been
subjected to user acceptance testing. The purpose of this study is to determine
user acceptance towards CeLOE LMS using a theoretical method called the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). TAM is an adaptation of the Theory of
Reasoned Action (TRA) (Suroso et al., 2017),
which Davis introduced in 1986. TAM is a well-known concept for explaining user
attitudes toward technology (Hanif et al.,
2018). TAM has evolved into a powerful tool for predicting technology
acceptance (Salloum et al., 2019).
Moreover, a recent systematic review concluded that implementing TAM to
educational technology acceptance has demonstrated its efficacy in comparison
to other theoretical models (Al-Qaysi et al.,
2020). The model has
developed into a robust model capable of predicting the adoption of a variety
of technologies (Al-Busaidi, 2013; Al-Emran et
al., 2018).
Several prior studies in Indonesia have used TAM as a conceptual model
to examine the acceptance of e-learning. One of the studies is Rahayu et al. (2017), this kind of study
aimed to assess student acceptability of e-learning using the TAM model using
five variables. Five of the six hypotheses proposed were declared accepted,
while one was declared rejected. The rejected hypothesis was that perceived
usefulness has an impact on behavioral intention. Although the users understood
and felt the benefits of e-learning, they remained unwilling to use the system.
The usefulness did not enhance their willingness to use the system. This is
able to occur because even if the users believed that using e-learning would
assist them in completing academic tasks, they did not have any interest in
continuing to use it because it was mandatory (Rahayu
et al., 2017). However, distance learning method has been used
due to the pandemic situation that students were forced to enter the online
system without any preparation (Patricia
Aguilera-Hermida, 2020).
Salloum (2018) investigated student
attitudes and acceptability of e-learning in higher education using TAM's core
and extended variables. The findings of this study are all reliable indicators,
indicating that student acceptance of the e-learning system is critical to its
effectiveness. Another study by Chang et al. (2017) found that all item
indicators are reliable and have important practical implications for
educational institutions regarding university e-learning system design. TAM has
been widely adopted and is quickly rising among IT researchers (Suroso et al., 2017). As a result, TAM is able to be considered an information technology
model that has been acknowledged as one that is able to explain user acceptance
of a system. The purpose of this research is to look at the elements that
influence student acceptance and the impact of the CeLOE LMS e-learning. The
findings of the study are expected to provide some insight into the aspects
that may affect students’ interest in using CeLOE LMS allowing future e-learning to be
optimized.
This study uses a quantitative way to measure the user acceptance of CELOE LMS during online learning at Telkom University. There are five variables used in this research named Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Using, Behavioral Intention to Use, and Actual System Use. This research using a questionnaire with five variables that detailed to 24 indicators. Figure 1 depicts the stages in greater detail.
Figure 1 Research methods
2.1. Define
the method to collecting data
The participants in this study were all active undergraduate students at
Telkom University who used the CeLOE LMS e-learning system from the first
semester to the seventh semester. Yamane in Adam
(2020), accept a percentage of 7% for the sample size calculation using
the Sample Size Calculator with an error tolerance This sample calculation is
based on a population of 22.279 people, with a 95% confidence level of 1.96, an
error tolerance limit of 7.38 percent, and a percentage of respondents choosing
answers of 50%. As a result, the formula in this sample calculator is
calculated as in Equation 1.
The
number of samples obtained in this study is 175 samples of respondents
evaluated and assessed later.
2.1.1. Perceived Ease of Use
(PEOU)
Davis (1989) defines
the Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) as the extent to which a person believes that
using technology will be free of effort (Davis,
1989). Another definition of PEOU is a measure by which a person
believes that a technology is able to be easily understood and used (Salloum, 2018). In this research, the Perceived
Ease of Use variable uses six indicators.
2.1.2. Perceived
Usefulness (PU)
Davis (1989) defines Perceived Usefulness (PU) as
the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would
enhance his or her job performance (Davis, 1989).
That people use information technology because they have confidence that
achievement and performance will increase. This concept describes the measure
in which the use of technology is believed to bring benefits to the user (Rahayu et al., 2017). In this research,
the Perceived Ease of Use variable uses six indicators.
2.1.3. Behavioral
Intention to Use (BI)
According
to Rahayu et al. (2017), Behavioral
Intention to Use (BI) is a person's desire to perform a certain behavior or a
person's tendency to continue using certain technologies (Rahayu et al., 2017). In this research,
the Behavioral Intention variable uses five indicators.
2.1.4. Attitude Toward
Using (ATU)
According
to SA Salloum et al. (2019), defines
Attitude Toward Using (ATU) as the degree to which a person has a positive or
negative feeling towards the e-learning system which means the user feels
either positive or negative to do something (Salloum
et al., 2019). In this research, the Attitude Toward Using
variable uses four indicators.
2.1.5. Actual System Use
(AU)
Actual System Use (AU) is a real condition of user actions in
the use or implementation of a system. Someone has a tendency to be satisfied
using the system if the person believes that the system is easy to use and is
bound to increase the productivity of their performance, which is reflected in
the real conditions of the user (Salloum, 2018).
In this research, the Actual System Use variable uses three indicators.

There are two types of model analysis in this
research, there are outer model and inner model analysis. The outer model was examined first, with the
validity and dependability of the model being tested. In the examination of the
outer model (Al
Kurdi et al., 2020; Salloum, 2018). There are three steps to
analyze the outer model. There are 1) convergent validity using Average
Variance Extracted (AVE) 2) Cross-loading test using discriminant scale and 3)
Reliability test using Cronbach Alpha.
After examining the outer model and ensuring that all indicators and variables are valid and dependable, the inner model is able to be considered complete. Based on the proposed research approach (Hanif et al., 2018), the inner and structural models explore the dependent relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables. Figure 3 shows the conceptual model of the values between the variables and indicators tested and the analysis of the measurement model (outer model) and structural model (inner model) assisted by using SmartPLS software (version 3.28).

3.1 Outer Model Analysis
3.1.1. Validity test
Convergent validity testing examines the findings of outer loadings and
the Average Variance Extracted (AVE). It is said to be valid if the outer
loading value is greater than 0.6 and the AVE is greater than 0.5 (Hair et al., 2015). Table 1 shows that all the outer loading and AVE
requirements are met, indicating that this variable indicator item is valid.

The cross-loading parameter
is used to determine discriminant validity. Table 2 shows that all targeted
indicator items have a bigger (>) cross-loading value than other variable
indicators with a cross-loading value of 0.6 (Hair et
al., 2015). As a result of the cross-loading parameter on
discriminant validity, all indicator items are declared valid. Based on the
results of the following analysis description, it is able to be determined that
all indicator items are valid in the discriminant validity test.

3.2.1. Coefficient determination
(R-square)
That the endogenous variables ATU, BI, and PU
have an R-square value greater than 0.33, indicating that their predictive
ability is moderate. Furthermore, the R-square value of the AU variable is
between 0.19 and 0.33, indicating that the variable's predictive potential is
assessed as weak. The result of the coefficient determination (R-square) is
able to be seen in Table 4.

3.2.3. Hypothesis test
Path coefficient testing serves to determine
whether the relationship between variables is positive and strong or not. The
value of the variable relationship is said to be positive and strong if it has
a path coefficient value > 0.1 (Hair et al., 2015).
However, t statistics and t table (1.97377) are used to measure the
relationship between variables, i.e. to see whether it is significant or not.
It is significant if the value of t statistics > t table. The relationship
between variables is able to be seen in Figure 3 and the result of the
hypothesis is able to be seen in Table 6.

1. (H1): The relationship between the variable
of Attitude Toward Using and the variable of Behavioral Intention to Use is
positive and significant
The relationship between Attitude Toward Using and
Behavioral Intention to Use variables is 4.841 > 1.97377, with a path
coefficient of 0.399 > 0.1, according to the t statistics. There was a
positive and significant relationship between the variables of Attitude Toward
Using and Behavioral Intention to Use. This hypothesis explains how the
perception of Perceived Ease of Use on the CeLOE LMS relates to the Perceived
Usefulness of CeLOE LMS. In this example, students believed that using the
system was simple, i.e the CeLOE LMS system was simple to learn, and easy to
access information, and the processes for using the CeLOE LMS were simple to
recall and operate the menus and features. The user-friendliness of CeLOE LMS
has an impact on student work, makes the lecture and learning process more
effective and efficient during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as enhances student
productivity and learning performance. These make CeLOE LMS useful for
students.
2. (H2): The relationship between the variable
of Behavioral Intention to Use and the variable of Actual System Use is
positive and significant
Based on the t statistic of 5.072 > 1.97377 and
path coefficient of 0.671 > 0.1 for the relationship between the Behavioral
Intention to Use variable and the Actual System Use variable, H2 was recognized
as positive and significant. This hypothesis explains how the Perceived Usefulness
of CeLOE LMS affects Attitude Toward Using CeLOE LMS. In this case, it has been
established that students believe that CeLOE LMS is a useful system for the
lecture process, studying, and completing assignments during epidemic
conditions, allowing them to do work more quickly, effectively, and easily that
may in turn increase performance and productivity. Students have a tendency to
have a positive attitude towards CeLOE LMS if they accept it joyfully and
comfortably. This is because the benefits provided by the CeLOE LMS have an
impact on student attitudes toward using it. When students use CeLOE LMS, they
are delighted and at ease because it gives them the intended benefits.
3. H3): The relationship between the variable of
Perceived Ease of Use and the variable of Attitude Toward Using is positive and
significant
The relationship between Perceived Ease of Use
variables and Attitude Toward Using variables gained the t statistic 5.072 >
1.97377 and path coefficients of 0.486 > 0.1. As a result, the H3 was recognized
as positive and significant. This hypothesis explains how the perceived ease of
CeLOE LMS uses influences Attitude Toward Using CeLOE LMS. Students felt
convenient using CeLOE LMS because it was easy to learn and understand, easy to
get the desired information, and flexible to interact directly with lecturers
and other students. And the functions, menus, and features in CeLOE LMS were
simple to use, making students happy and comfortable when using CeLOE LMS. When
students utilize CeLOE LMS during the COVID-19 epidemic, they feel happy and at
ease because it is simple to use.
4. (H4): The relationship between the variable
of Perceived Ease of Use and the variable of Perceived Usefulness is positive
and significant
With a t statistic of 14.634 > 1.97377 and a path
coefficient of 0.367 > 0.1, the relationship between the Perceived Ease of
Use variables and Perceived Usefulness variables are able to be seen. As a
result, the H4 is regarded as positive and significant. This hypothesis
outlines how the attitude toward utilizing the CeLOE LMS (Attitude Toward
Using) affects the Behavioral intention to use the CeLOE LMS. Because students
are happy and comfortable using CeLOE LMS during the COVID-19 pandemic, they
are more likely to use CeLOE LMS at any time to assist their learning process
and to recommend CeLOE LMS to other students.
5. (H5): The relationship between the variable
of Perceived Usefulness and the variable of Attitude Toward Using is positive
and significant
The relationship between Perceived Usefulness
variables and Attitude Toward Using variables gain the t statistics of 3.606
> 1.97377 with path coefficients 0.279 > 0.1. As a result, the H5 is
regarded as positive and significant. This hypothesis shows that Behavioral
Intention to Use (user behavior) in the CeLOE LMS affects Actual System Use
(actual system use). In this scenario, it is revealed that students' interest
in the CeLOE LMS had a significant impact on actual use, as evidenced by the
student frequency and length of time spent when using the CeLOE LMS. It is
demonstrated by the fact that students’ desire to continue using CeLOE LMS
leads to a high frequency and duration of usage of CeLOE LMS. It was reported
that students least access LMS once a week with an average of 10 minutes
duration.
6. (H6): The relationship between the variable
of Perceived Usefulness and the variable of Behavioral Intention to Use is
positive and significant
The t statistic of the relationship between
Perceived Usefulness variables and Behavioral Intention to Use variables of
5.158 > 1.97377 and path coefficient of 0.401 > 0.1 is able to be seen in
the t statistic of the relationship between Perceived Usefulness and Behavioral
Intention to Use variables. As a result, the H6 is regarded as positive and
significant. This hypothesis shows that Perceived Usefulness in the CeLOE LMS
has a link to Behavioral Intention to Use the CeLOE LMS. During the COVID-19
epidemic, students believed that CeLOE LMS aided them in the lecture process,
studying, and completing their assignments. Students more frequently use CeLOE
LMS whenever and wherever they are able to.
Based on the results of data analysis and
processing, all six hypotheses were accepted positively and significantly.
Nonetheless, the CeLOE team must develop and maintain to sustain its stability
and increase the influence of acceptance of the CeLOE LMS. Hypothesis 1 (H1),
the relationship between Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness, which
is also the focus of the TAM model with a path coefficient of 0.486 and
T-statistic of 14.634, has the most significance in this study when evaluating
the hypothesis. It means that CeLOE LMS is easy to understand, learn, and use.
It is also adaptable, and CeLOE features, and menus are user-friendly. Students
are bound to gain more from an easy system when it comes to the learning
process and lectures. It is also supported by the findings gained from the
interviews with the CeLOE team, that revealed that Telkom University has
decided that a minimum of 8 synchronous sessions using the Zoom, Google Meet,
Microsoft Teams, or Skype platforms are required. With the remaining meetings
held as needed where it is encouraged to use CeLOE LMS. As a result, it is
critical for the CeLOE team to provide the greatest facilities for distance
learning to meet the intended learning objectives. The CeLOE LMS e-learning
system, which is built on Moodle, is quite comprehensive in terms of menus and
features, as well as in delivering a user-friendly interface and user
experience (Suppasetseree and Dennis, 2010).
During the rapid transition to distance learning, Moodle LMS has established
itself as the primary mode of instruction, as evidenced by Egorov et al. (2021).
Meanwhile, hypothesis 2 (H2) argues that the
association between Perceived Usefulness and Attitude Toward Using was positive
and significant. However, compared to other hypotheses, this hypothesis has a
lower value, with a path coefficient of 0.279 and a T-statistic of 3.606. This
analysis was mostly because the student respondents in this survey were in 1st
and 7th semesters, respectively, and had only recently used
CeLOE LMS. As a result, they are unsure if they are experiencing bad or
positive feelings because of the short period of the use of CeLOE LMS. The
findings of testing this hypothesis showed that the TAM model and the
investigated variables were capable of adequately explaining user attitudes and
behavior toward an information system. Asvial et
al. (2021) research involving junior high school students in Jakarta
and Tangerang who participated in distance learning or e-learning as a result
of parental encouragement and government regulations related to COVID-19 showed
that the students were not sincerely interested in e-learning. Thus, this
research proposes that the Indonesian government improves middle school
students' digital literacy, which includes their ability to easily pick up new
technology, their motivation to learn with information and communication
technology, and their willingness to use information and communication
technology at work Kurniasih et al., (2020), by bridging the
digital divide, improving teacher quality, and providing supportive facilities,
prior to enacting policies that require e-learning as a curricular requirement.
It is widely known, many students worldwide were forced to transfer from face-to-face
instruction to an online learning environment in the middle of the semester due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. The student was forced to enter the online system
without preparation, they have limited information processing capacity, and
there is a possibility that a combination of learning modalities has a tendency
to cause cognitive overload, affecting their ability to learn new information
sufficiently (Patricia Aguilera-Hermida, 2020).
Due to the limitation of the first model of TAM (García Botero et al., 2018; Patricia
Aguilera-Hermida, 2020), further work is required to continue this
research by adding some external variables like a) attitude, affect, and
motivation; b) social factors; c) usefulness and visibility; d) instructional
attributes; e) perceived behavioral control, f) cognitive engagement, and g)
system attributes that influence the adoption of technology (Kemp et al., 2019; Patricia Aguilera-Hermida,
2020). Additionally, future work may include a sample of other college
students from various campuses in order to capture the generic condition of
distance learning acceptance. For many people, the pandemic is life-changing.
Additional research is needed to determine how the lack of physical contact,
the decrease in social interaction, and changes that happened to their
neighborhood and their daily lives influence their learning process.
In this study, the
elements that influence the acceptance of the TAM model for students using the
CeLOE LMS e-learning system are addressed. The TAM model uses five key TAM
variables that are relevant to the research topic, including Perceived Ease of
Use, Perceived Usefulness, and Attitude Toward Using, Behavioral Intention to
Use, and Actual System Use. Those are all terms that are able to be used to
describe how a system is used. All six hypotheses of the relationship between
these variables were positive and significant, according to the hypothesis test
related to the relationship between variables. During the COVID-19 pandemic,
students are claimed to have accepted the employment of CeLOE LMS in the online
or online lecture process as reflected in their attitudes and behavior. Even
though all six hypothesis tests were positive, the CeLOE team must continue to
develop and maintain itself to retain stability and increase the acceptance of
the CeLOE LMS.
